[Update 9:09PM: The DJIA is sitting very near the Supercycle upper channel line. If prices are going to catch a bid and complete a medium term 5 wave move up in the DJIA, here would be a logical place to do so.

On the flipside, if prices are going to crash here a bit, this again is the logical place to do so if it loses the channel line. So lets watch that channel line.

The wave evidence has everything overlapping which suggests the market is not impulsing up. At best we can imagine a big ED count, but it would have to "launch" the 5th wave like ASAP.

We do have a positive divergence on the SPX hourly chart RSI but its not really backed up by market internals. For instance on the DJIA chart above, there is no telltale positive divergence in the breadth thrust indicator nor on McClellan's as we have had many times on P[2].

NYMO doesn't really scream "buy me" either.

I haven't forgotten the Minor 4 triangle count.

[Update 5:35PM: Taking another look at the possible truncated high in the indexes. I really feel we have to pay attention to this because a badly truncated top means the market may have a bit of a price collapse coming (likely starting tomorrow) as a result. If prices hold up then I reserve judgement until time reveals all.

But this is how I would count a truncation:

[Update 5:04PM: A closer look at the NYAD high and how prices have been unable to match so far.]

[Update 4:51PM: NYAD count. The RSI is waning. A perfect little wedge formed at the high. Whats interesting is that the peak on the chart below coincided with what could be a truncated wave 5 top in equities. See the Nasdaq count below.]

The DJIA is the only index left that doesn't have severe overlap in its waves. The Nasdaq Composite broke down rather hard today.

About Me

I like to chart and I am an avid student of Elliott Wave Theory. I combine wave theory with standard technical analysis to track market movements and predict future movements.
Disclaimer: I do this for fun (although donations are encouraged!). Due diligence is required on your part as my charts have been known to steer in the wrong direction from time to time.
I am not responsible for any monetary losses that you may occur. Feel free to bookmark my site! I will try an answer questions, but time constraints sometimes do not allow me to get to everything. I do answer most all email so feel free to drop me a line, usually I reply at night (I have a day job) Thanks!
